After her senior sister was reborn, she actually became a powerful and arrogant protagonist?!

"In my past life, Fang Xingyu herself said that she found the merman on the second day."

"I have plenty of time now."

Chu Luobai made a mental calculation, then released his divine sense to probe, constantly avoiding the disciples on the road.

Hulu sat on Chu Luobai's shoulder, looking around.

"Master, there are many powerful spirit beasts in this secret realm."

"But they seemed to be afraid of something, and they all stayed in their nests, too afraid to come out."

"Who wouldn't be afraid of a great spirit beast that has just advanced to the Dao Integration Realm?"

Chu Luobai looked down at the Spirit-Seeking Jade Disc in his hand to confirm the direction once again.

Suddenly, my divine sense detected a familiar figure.

"Fang Xingyu?"

Chu Luobai stood on a huge, leafy tree branch, watching Fang Xingyu slowly moving forward in the distance.

Even if the merman bloodline is gone, they will still move in this direction.

"...Is this destiny?"

Unbeknownst to her, Fang Xingyu below was currently in a state of extreme anxiety and distress.

Before entering the dungeon, she planned to follow her instincts, so she didn't bring any navigation tools.

Now, things have changed. That feeling has inexplicably disappeared, and she's lost in this dense, primeval forest where the sun never rises!

After hesitating for a long time, she finally chose a direction and was just about to walk forward when a giant tree suddenly collapsed.

"Could it be a great spirit beast at the Void Refinement Realm?"

Startled, Fang Xingyu instinctively ran in the opposite direction.

She knows her own limitations.

Compared to spirit beasts, life is more important.

Watching Fang Xingyu's figure disappear into the dense forest, Hulu was a little curious.

"Master, why did you scare her?"

"Because if she goes in that direction, she will become unhappy."

"what?"

Chu Luobai's inexplicable answer left Hulu completely bewildered.

But soon, the subtle scent of merfolk in the air drew all her attention.

"Master, I sense the aura of a merman! It's very similar to the aura emanating from the mermen we encountered in the Western Sea!"

Chu Luobai nodded slightly and stopped in front of a clump of bushes.

This clump of shrubs is growing very well and extends deep into the dense forest.

"Strange, why does the energy stop here?"

The gourd curiously floated down from Chu Luobai's shoulder and looked around.

Meanwhile, the spirit-seeking jade disc in Chu Luobai's hand began to become unstable.

The arrow that had materialized on the jade disc began to spin wildly, sometimes pointing northwest and sometimes southeast.

"No, Master, I sense that merman's aura is nearby."

Hulu pouted and was pulled back by Chu Luobai as soon as it approached the bushes.

Immediately, a sword aura swept out horizontally.

The bushes in front of me were like a shattered mirror, instantly broken into pieces.

The bushes disappeared, replaced by a sizable lake.

Pfft!

The sound of water echoed from the lakeside as a figure leaped into the water, splashing everywhere.

Although the other party ran very fast, Chu Luobai still saw the fish tail that was flashing with a strange light.

"A merman! It's the scent of a merman!"

Hulu was excited; this aura was very similar to the one she had sensed in the Western Sea.

It inexplicably gave her a feeling of extreme familiarity.

"They deliberately set up a maze; no wonder Fang Xingyu only found it on the second day."

Now that the maze has been broken, Chu Luobai slowly walked to the lakeside.

The lake was exceptionally calm, and the sunlight overhead shone on its surface, creating a beautiful, shimmering effect.

"Master, there must be a mermaid in here. I remember their scent!"

Seemingly infected by the peaceful atmosphere, even the gourd became a little more well-behaved.

She leaned close to Chu Luobai's ear and whispered something.

"My former master searched for several years before finding a merman in the West Sea, and you've found one in just a few days!"

Chu Luobai's thoughts sank slightly. If it weren't for her experience in her previous life, she really wouldn't have imagined that there was a mermaid hidden in the sect's Myriad Spirits Secret Realm.

The lake remained calm, clearly indicating that the merman had no intention of showing itself.

Is he too afraid to show himself, or has he not been chosen by her?

Recalling the merman who formed a death pact with Mu Yurou in his previous life, Chu Luobai felt that the latter was more likely.

However, I am not Fang Xingyu.

Whether or not a mermaid finds it appealing is not up to her to decide.

“Master, the merfolk of the West Sea are most afraid of the cold. If we freeze the water, they will definitely come out.”

Hulu enthusiastically offered Chu Luobai suggestions.

"Freezing consumes too much spiritual energy. I'll teach you an easier method."

Chu Luobai walked to the lakeside, squatted down, and submerged the Lingxiao sword in his hand into the water.

In an instant, countless sword lights raged across the bottom of the lake!

Before the merman could react, he felt a sharp pain in his body as countless sword lights pierced through the bottom of the lake!

In no time, a huge splash of water erupted on the lake's surface, and a mermaid leaped out from the spray.

The beautiful deep blue fish was fully revealed, and in the sunlight, even a single scale on its tail looked like flowing crystal.

Her long white hair reached down to her fishtail, completely covering her upper body.

Before Chu Luobai could get a good look, the merman had already disappeared back into the water.

"Hey! I haven't seen it clearly yet."

Hulu was so anxious that she lay down by the water's edge and looked into the lake, but all she could see was her own reflection.

"She's quite temperamental."

Chu Luobai sneered, twirled the Lingxiao sword in his right hand, and finally stood at an angle on the lake.

"Get out here, or it won't be as simple as a few sword lights."

A moment later, perhaps worried that Chu Luobai might actually make a move, ripples began to appear on the lake's surface.

A mermaid slowly emerged from the lake.

Water droplets clung to her long, silvery-white hair, which cascaded down her fair chest before disappearing into the lake.

That androgynous face, even though he had seen it before, still made Chu Luobai gasp for breath.

The mermaids have distinctive features, like fish fins, with their ears extending through their white hair.

His deep blue eyes were as calm as the sea, and his whole being exuded a detached and aloof air.

No wonder Fang Xingyu was so infatuated with him in her previous life.

"come over."

Chu Luobai waved to the merman.

The water rippled, and the stunning mermaid swayed her fishtail as she slowly swam toward the lakeside.

Along with it comes a faint, pleasant fragrance.

His fair and slender hands touched Chu Luobai's hands, which were cold but had a hint of warmth.

Chu Luobai bent down, letting the merman take her hand and place it on the merman's cheek.

The merman lowered her eyes and gently rubbed her face against Chu Luobai's palm, creating a strange sensation.

Looking up again, her deep blue eyes shimmered with light, as if a thousand stars had fallen into them.

He captivates people so much that they would be willing to die for him.

"Are you looking for me?"

His deep voice carried a hint of seduction, like a lover's whisper in the ear.

"Yes, I'm looking for you."

The next second, Chu Luobai's hand suddenly gripped the merman's neck, his voice icy cold.

His eyes were clear, showing no trace of the confusion and infatuation he had just displayed.

The merman was startled. He hadn't expected that Chu Luobai wouldn't be bewitched. He was about to resist when he felt a suffocating sensation.

The hand gripping his neck was like an iron claw, and no matter how much he struggled, he couldn't budge it an inch.

"What a beautiful face."

After carefully admiring the merman's face, Chu Luobai raised his hand and threw him directly onto the ground by the lake.

"I have no grudge against you, cultivator, why..."

The merman lay on the ground, its beautiful fish tail flapping incessantly, its azure eyes filled with humiliation and resentment.

"Lancang, stop with your useless little tricks."
